I enabled the Location Tag on my S5 stock camera, but when I open the photo in Gallery -> More Info, it says there is no location tagged.

Is your Location Services option turned on? Did you give it 'enough time' for the GPS to get a lock on your location? If you're in an area with bad GPS coverage or with your phone in airplane mode there is no location to be added. Same thing if you disable Location Services.

I guess it was that I was not giving it enough time after turning on Location. My latest photos has it. Thanks.

Yeah, sometimes depending on your location it might take a bit longer for the GPS to get a good reading, and sometimes it's just fast (clear skies at the beach are usually better than a cloudy day in the middle of a street surrounded by skyscrapers :p).
